Chapter 4: System
"Say... if I had refused your offer back then, would I still be here?"
Althea looked at me for a moment before answering with a gentle smile. "No, you wouldn’t. You were a good candidate, but you weren’t the only one. At that moment, you just happened to be the most convenient person for me to approach. If you had rejected my offer, I would have simply moved on to the next candidate on my list."
Damn...
So I was right.
My death was my own fault. I put myself in this position by accepting her offer. I let my horniness take over my common sense...
If I hadn’t been so easily tempted, if I’d just kept my cool, there’s no way I would’ve even bothered talking to a strange woman making bizarre requests in the middle of a park.
Yup.
I got myself killed.
With my dick brain.
I stared at nothing for a while, too stunned to say anything.
’Even so, shouldn’t she have explained everything clearly from the start? If I’d known saying yes meant dying, I never would’ve even considered it.’ I couldn’t help but think to myself in frustration.
But then again, I had to remind myself that I was dealing with someone who was basically like a god. Maybe to her, it didn’t matter. Maybe she thought I would understand, or maybe she just didn’t care enough to explain.
